Time to usher in the new season with this fest sponsored by the Polish Heritage Club. It’s tempting to say it’s all about the food for sale, including Polish classics like pączki (filled pastries), poppy seed rolls, kołaczki (filled cookies), chruściki (crispy sweets pronounced hroosh-cheeky), babkas, Polish breads, kiełbasa, and pierogi. But there are also Easter and other home decorations, toys, and more. Lunch on-site (also available to-go) is pierogi, kiełbasa, sauerkraut and rye bread. St. Peter is at 5001 N. Sherman Ave., just south of the entrance to Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park, where you could walk off that kielbasa afterwards — or ski, if the weather forecast holds.
media release: Our Spring Festival offers traditional Polish bakery/foods for purchase, including pączki, poppy seed rolls, kołaczki, chruściki, babkas, Polish breads, kiełbasa, and pierogi. Also featuring unique amber jewelry, Bolesławiec pottery, and traditional Easter items (e.g. decorated eggs, Easter palms, sugar lambs), as well as wianki (floral head wreaths), toys, imported Polish goods, a big selection of books, craft demonstrations and much more. While listening to Polish music, treat yourself to a tasty lunch of pierogi, kiełbasa, sauerkraut, and rye bread. Take-out will be available.
